NEW DIRECTOR OF MUSIC: MARK PACOE Welcome to Mark who has begun full-time at the parish on June 1. Since September, Mark has been assisting with scheduling and laying basic groundwork for a comprehensive music ministry parish-wide. Mark's experience and accomplishments as a church musician and concert musician have been recognized locally, nationally and internationally. Through Mark's pastoral leadership, all musical elements of the music ministry program will be supported and organized with Dean Fredrickson, Music Assistant, all of the music ministers who are part of the St. Frances Xavier Cabrini community, the Slovak community at St. John, and all who will become part of a new English choir in residence at 66th and 1st. Let's embrace Mark in this pastoral calling in all of the exciting ideas and developments to come. More information will be forthcoming in the next weeks about joining the new choir at St. John.
